Chapter 166: You Cannot Order Me Around
The Emperor was confused by the words of Xing and he naturally looked at his brother for answers. He knows both are united in heart and soul and they are beings with two bodies and one soul! But he gulped seeing the sharp and pondering look Shengli had on Xing.
Are they two fighting? But why am I involved? Ugh! I shouldn’t have come here now... What a terrible luck I have!
The Emperor cursed his luck and turned immediately and left without answering her. He felt like he was a stray cat that had been caught in his enemy’s alley.
I’m not getting involved between them!
Seeing the Emperor running away as if his butt is on fire, Xing turned to look at Shengli,
" I’m going to do what the Gods asked me to do. You can do whatever you want. I relieve you of any responsibilities you might have towards me. From now on consider me a stranger and live your own life well away from me", Xing held her fists tight and spout out the words with difficulty. She made sure she spoke everything in one breath with her voice smooth as if she was determined so that he won’t doubt her resolve. She saw Shengli’s face twitching with anger for a moment but then he snorted at her and his eyes regained the gentleness he always had for her and also a deep sadness.
Shengli knew from the moment he heard what the Gods told her about their wishes that Xing would agree to their request. She says she is selfish and she won’t care about anything else if she gets to be with him but still, she is not a hard-hearted, selfish person.
But how dare she tells him to leave her? Is that even her decision to make?
Shengli got mad for a moment before noticing her expression, her eyes. Her eyes that used to have a lively expression on them now had the same blank expression she had when her mother passed away... This could only mean...
She knows! But who told her?
